In the lush, deep forest, a luxurious carriage travels steadily.

Nothing much happened along the way.

Su Yingxue sat in the carriage with her eyes half-closed, and Xia Zhi occasionally handed her tea and snacks.

Qiuye placed a soft cushion behind her back to make her more comfortable.

On the contrary, Chunfen looked around, her mind not on Su Yingxue at all.

Didn't I already tell her the time?

Why haven't they arrived yet?

We've already arrived, are we really going to wait until the inspection is over before coming?

Or is it that Su Zhirou didn't have any plans at all?

"Spring Equinox, what are you thinking about?" Summer Solstice looked at Spring Equinox, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

As the lady's personal maid, she didn't know how to serve her; instead, she was absent-minded.

I'm starting to dislike the Spring Equinox more and more.

How could she betray such a good person as their mistress?

But the lady still hasn't kicked that wretched woman out.

Su Yingxue, dressed in a magnificent gown adorned with jewels, possessed striking and elegant features. As she squinted at the Spring Equinox, she exuded an air of dominance over the world. Her noble bearing was particularly undeniable.

She gently raised her lips: "Is something on your mind during the Spring Equinox? You seem preoccupied, so why don't you go back and rest early?"

"Second Madam, I was just daydreaming because I didn't sleep well last night. Please don't send me back!"

If she is kicked out, how will she send a message?

How can we sow discord between Su Yingxue and the Crown Prince?

She played a crucial role here.

"Spring Equinox, you've really disappointed me lately, but considering you grew up with me, I'll reluctantly forgive you."

Su Yingxue looked up, and Chunfen's eyes flashed with wild joy.

She knew Su Yingxue couldn't bear to part with her.

She grew up with Su Yingxue since she was a child, so there's bound to be some affection between them.

Outsiders say that Su Yingxue is vindictive and a notorious villain in Beijing's social circles, but Chunfen knows that Su Yingxue values ​​relationships above all else.

"Thank you, Madam!"

Chunfen smiled and handed over the tea. Seeing that Su Yingxue didn't drink it, she stepped forward and massaged Su Yingxue's legs.

This time, Su Yingxue did not refuse.

Summer Solstice pouted and glared at Spring Equinox.

How could someone like that be worthy of staying by a prostitute's side?

Fortunately, the evidence that she had caused the young lady's allergy had already been left behind. All that was left was for the madam to find the mastermind behind Su Zhirou and then kick her out.

Thinking that Miss had seen through the Spring Equinox early on, Xia Zhi felt a little better.

The group quickly arrived at the estate, where the steward and his men were already waiting at the gate.

Su Yingxue was helped down from the carriage by Xia Zhi.

Steward Liu stepped forward: "Madam must be tired from your journey. The room is ready. Please rest for a while. The account books will be delivered later."

Su Yingxue nodded and led her group into the manor.

Dark as ink.

The man leaned back on the footstool, a lustrous pearl earring in his hand.

He seemed to treasure it greatly, holding it in his hand and sniffing it lightly. The originally white pearls now shone even brighter under the candlelight.

Her scent seemed to linger on it, and the image of her smiling face kept appearing in his mind.

She wasn't like this at first.

It could even be described as friendly.

But now...

He gently stroked his fingertips, lost in thought.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince has been reprimanded by His Majesty and is in distress. Shall we go and visit him?" Rong Jing came forward to report upon receiving the news.

The man concealed the earring in his large hand, as if nothing had happened.

"And her?" the man asked in a clear, gentle voice, as if it were a casual question.

But Rong Jing knew that his master was concerned about Su Yingxue.

"The Second Madam has arrived at the estate and should be resting now. Your Highness, rest assured, I have dispatched a team of elite guards to protect her. She will be perfectly safe."

"But the Fifth Prince..."

In Rong Jing's view, the most important thing now should be the affairs of the previous dynasty. Unfortunately, his master seemed to have been possessed, and he often stared blankly ever since that woman showed him kindness.

I wonder what he's thinking.

Rong Jing didn't want Su Yingxue to actually be with his master. If they were, what good days would his master have in the future?

The main problem is that she is no different from her master's weakness.

But that's just a weakness.

But what if this weakness is laced with a knife?

How could he feel at ease?

"It's alright. Send someone to deliver some things and tell him there's a corruption case in the capital. Perhaps we can break through it and he can regain favor." Xie Huaiyun's voice was calm, as if everything was under control.

"But isn't that case the Seventh Prince's? If we give this favor to the Fifth Prince, what will happen to the Seventh Prince?" Rong Jing asked, puzzled.

They were indeed on good terms with the Fifth Prince on the surface.

But they were actually on the side of the Seventh Prince.

If we steal the limelight from the Seventh Prince, that might not be good.

What if the Seventh Prince gets angry?

"The Seventh Prince isn't that stingy; just give him a few jars of Orchid Heart Wine in private."

"yes!"

After Rong Jing finished speaking, he turned around, then suddenly remembered something and handed over a silk handkerchief.

"Your Highness, this is something I found in the manor; it seems to belong to the Second Madam as well..."

"Bring it here."

Xie Huaiyun became interested and, after only a quick glance, knew it was hers.

"Leave your things here, you can go."

Seeing his master's delighted expression, Rong Jing sighed, "Master, why do you always collect these junks? What the Second Madam is doing now is nothing but a delaying tactic. Please don't fall for it!"

He had been with Xie Huaiyun since childhood and knew that Xie Huaiyun had a box specifically for collecting things related to Su Yingxue.

Among them were not only the rouge that Su Yingxue had used halfway, the pebbles that Su Yingxue had touched, but also an embroidered shoe that Su Yingxue had once thrown away, an earring, and even old clothes that she no longer wanted.

Since Su Yingxue was ten years old.

To be precise, it started when his master fell in love with Su Yingxue.

So I kept collecting them.

So many years, tireless.

The handkerchief he found will likely become his master's most prized possession.

"What junk?" Xie Huaiyun's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and Rong Jing shuddered, hurriedly speaking up:

"Your subordinate misspoke..."

"Go down and collect some things she doesn't use at a high price. You've been really slacking off lately."

Rong Jing was unaware that even the secret room his master had ordered to be built was filled with Su Yingxue's belongings.

Where is it just a small box?

It's clearly a whole room.

"yes......"
